stereospecific

/ /ˌstɪərɪəʊspɪˈsɪfɪk/adjective Chemistry
Another term for stereoselective.Enzymes have been widely praised for their specificity and efficiency in stereospecific catalysis....
- Third, the reactions are ordinarily very stereospecific.
- This observation seems inconsistent with the hypothesis that myosin heads bind to actin in a stereospecific conformation in low ionic strength relaxing conditions.
Derivatives
stereospecifically
- The result is that the hydration of fumarate proceeds stereospecifically with the production of L-malate.
- Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the C - 6 methyl enol ether affords codeinone, which may be stereospecifically reduced with sodium borohydride to codeine.
- Nevertheless, the data presented here are consistent with the idea that during isometric contraction a large fraction of cross-bridges is stereospecifically attached to actin in a nonrigor-like conformation.
stereospecificity
- For the first time, we observe that the acyl binding site of cholesterol esterase shows stereospecificity for diastereomeric inhibitors.
- While this lack of stereospecificity does not establish that the oxidation is artefactual (the chiral centre is five bonds away from the aldehyde group) it was, nevertheless, cause for disquiet.
- However, further experimental verification of label stereospecificity will be provided by bifunctional spin probes whose orientation and mobility are restricted by two attachment sites.
